Sorry - this is totally my fault. My revised PR caused rendering test
fails on Travis and honestly, I'm finding the 2.18 code so
painful/stressful to work with now that I just couldn't get up the
motivation to fix these tests in my volunteer time. I've re-opened the
original PR and closed the revised version, and if Travis is ok
(fingers crossed) I'll merge it.
